Jerry Coyne&#039;s book really is excellent. I keep this in mind when sometimes I want creationists to just shut up. They actually have done us a service, because they would say things like, &#039;yes, but then how could the eye evolve, it has to be all there or it is useless&#039;, and that spurs people to investigate, and now we have an excellent account of how the eye evolved. Jerry Coyne does a great job of talking about what genetics tells us too, about the evolution (and re-evolution in the case of NY monkey, eg) of colour vision, and genes as a kind of fossil record. This is my field (I have a D.Phil in behavioural ecology and my thesis was a lot about evolution of signalling systems), and still I learned a great deal from it.|EMAIL|alunap@mac.com|IP-ADDRESS|170.148.198.157|MODERATIONFLAG|
